Now it seems that there are electronic data to show that the writing has changed since the series began until how it ended. According to the data that the member of GitHub, Mr. Quart compiled in OpenSubtitles.org, the words spoken per minute in each episode of "Game of Thrones" have gone through a decrease from one season to another.

Most of the words in an episode were spoken somewhere in the middle of Season 1, and the fewest words spoken per minute reached a record low in Season 8. This seems to be around Episode 3 "The Long Night" , when all Winterfell is engaged in a war with the Army of the Dead. This makes sense, since many action sequences benefit from the "show do not tell" approach. Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) exploiting Baelor's Sept with uncontrolled fire is one of those effective sequences that did not require much dialogue.

Here is a look at the table that was shared by Joanna Robinson:

Of course, more words per minute is not necessarily an indicator that an episode or even a season is better. But the downward trend from season to season shows how the narrative has changed. While Benioff and Weiss had the work of the author George R.R. Martin faced them, the narrative rhythm was established (one book per season) and, therefore, they could focus on dialogue, often extracting passages directly from the novels.

The duo even found time to include additional scenes full of dialogues that revealed aspects of the characters or Westerosi's politics. In particular, season 1 included a scene in which Cersei and her husband, King Robert Baratheon (Mark Addy) reveal their less than amorous relationship, while a scene in which Loras (Finn Jones) shaves Renly (Gethin Anthony) ) reveals the opposite.
